^Lethe Dyrta, Feld. — This is one of the few hill species that manage to exist 

 sparingly at Kawal Piudi ; it is uncommon even in the Murree Hills. 



Amecera SchaJcra, Eoll. — Abundant during the rains, and in the autumn 

 months, flying about the rocks and bare hill-sides. 



Hipparchia Parisatis, Koll. — Common between Bugnota and Abbottabad in the 

 autumn. It settles in the most inaccessible and dangerous spots, and from its re- 

 semblance to its surroundings is difficult to see. I consider the pursuit of II. 

 Parisatis over these precipitous hill sides to be distinctly dangerous : one stands a 

 good chance either of a sunstroke or a broken neck. 



Aulocera Padma, Koll. — Abundant above 7000 ft. in June, and at the com- 

 mencement of the rains ; it then disappears, and there is a small autumn brood. 

 The species here is remarkably constant. A. Swaha, Koll. — This comes out during 

 the rains, replacing the above species, and continuing all through the autumn. It 

 has very much the same habits as Padma, and, like it, is not found below 7000 ft. 

 A. Saraswati, Koll. —One specimen only, on a rocky hill near Bugnota, in September. 

 I was surprised not to find the species more abundant, as it is said to swarm in 

 favoured localities. 



^Ypthima Nareda, Koll. — Occurs sparingly in the park at Eawal Pindi, and also 

 throughout the Murree Hills, during the summer months. 



CaUerehia Nirmala, Moore. — A variable species, occurring commonly in the 

 rains, and disappearing about the middle of September. It is not, I think, found 

 below 7000 ft. It has very much the habits of the English " meadow brown." 



*3Ielanitis Leda, L. — Not uncommon at Pindi, but I have not met with it in 

 the hills. 



*Atella Phalanta, Dr. — Common at Pindi, but not in the hills. 



Sephisa dichroa, Koll. — I have seen this at about 3000 ft. elevation, on the 

 Kashmir road below Kalabagh. 



^Junonia Asterie, L. — Eare, at Pindi, and in the neighbouring hills. *J. 

 Lemonias, L. — Occasionally at Pindi in the Park ; I have not met with it in the 

 hills. *J. Hierta, F. — Very common at Pindi, and up to 6000 ft. ; it delights in 

 the hottest sunshine, and is found almost throughout the year. *J. Orithyia, L. — 

 Common at Pindi and Abbottabad, and up to 6000 ft. ; common nearly all the year 

 round. 



Neptis Astola, Moore. — Very common everywhere in the summer months, and 

 rains. A second brood occurs in autumn, but the specimens are few in number. N. 

 Ophiana, Moore. — Common at low elevations, 3000 and 6000 ft., but not occurring 

 before the latter elevation. 



*IIypolimnas Bolina, L. — Occasional specimens occur in gardens at Pindi, but 

 I have not noticed it in the hills. 



*Argynnis Niphe, L. — Common at Pindi in the spring and autumn ; the female 

 greatly resembles D. Chrysippus on the wing. A. CJiildreni, Grr. — I have taken this 

 at Doonga Gali, 7500 ft., and at Kalabagh, 8000 ft., as well as on the Kashmir road, 

 3500 ft. I have seen specimens from the immediate neighbourhood of Murree. It 

 occasionally soars in considerable numbers over the tops of the highest forest trees.
